CSO musicians, Linton Series on Grammy-nominated disc

Little did Linton audiences know last March, but they were present for the recording of the world premiere of a piece by Frank Proto that in December, it would receive a Grammy nomination for Small Ensemble Performance.

"Bridges - Eddie Daniels Plays The Music Of Frank Proto" - Frank Proto, conductor with Eddie Daniels and Ensemble Sans Frontiere, was released on the Red Mark label.

Among the selections is Frank Proto's "Sextet for Clarinet and Strings," recorded at the March 4 Linton Chamber Music performance. To make this even more interesting, Ensemble Sans Frontiere consists of current and former Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra artists Michael Chertock, piano; Larrie Howard, violin and viola; Laura McLellan, cello; Sylvia Mitchell, violin; Paul Patterson, violin and viola; Susan Marshall Peterson, cello and Frank Proto, Double Bass.
